42mi from Tallmadge · 20 sites · Tents, Lodging · Youngstown, OH

Bending Oak Farm is an educational farm on 25 formerly clear cut acres. We are committed to our mission creating a more sustainable world by showing people what is possible. Through classes, workshops, school tours, community programs and hands-on experiences, we look to demonstrate attainable practices to better the lives of all people. We invite you to come and experience how you can create a more sustainable life for you, your family, friends and your community. To ensure an environment that is family friendly and mitigate the risk of injury Bending Oak does not permit alcoholic beverages or recreational drugs at the farm. Guests who stay in one of our permaculture cabins are participating in a permaculture design process where the goal is to create a system of abundance. During your stay, you will be challenged to think differently about how you go about meeting your daily needs. By design, you will encounter limits to the typical expectations of your living space, which grants you the opportunity to think deeply about what really is important to you and join us in exploring effective possibilities in meeting these expectations. After all, necessity is the mother of invention. This is our first study of building a sustainable living environment. We started with a blank slate, a new system designed with the permaculture principles in mind and the intention of ultimately creating a living space with the creature comforts we have all grown accustomed to. Eventually we will be building the next round of accommodations (principal: Small & Slow Solutions). When staying in one of our cabins, you are participating in this process by sharing with us your experience (principal: Observe & Interact), letting us know what you have discovered you can and can not live without, and possible solutions to efficiently address those needs and wants (principal: Apply Self Regulation & Accept Feedback). We look forward to your stay with us and your participation in creating abundance in this living space!

With over 230 acres, a lake, trails, the Grand River, plenty of wildlife, and FREE firewood. Bass and Buck Adventures is the perfect place to get away. Once known as Parkman Gorge the valley was a hub for water powered industry in the early 1800's. The river and valley is home to a wide array of wildlife. Deer, turkey, eagles, hawks, owls, mink, river otters to name a few. The area also attracts many song birds including a wide variety of warblers. There is also an abundance of wild flowers. The valley is rich in Native American history. Many artifacts have been found on the property. My great grandfather talked about the last Native American to live in Parkman. He had a cabin on one of the bluffs along the river. In the 1820's there was a water powered sawmill, flaxseed mill, and forge on the river. The boy scouts used the valley for a camp in the 1920,s. My grandpa purchased the property in the 50's from Ohio Edison. Ohio Edison's plan to dam up the river for hydro power never materialized. The valley has been a favorite for outdoor enthusiasts. Camping, hiking, fishing, hunting. Many of the items used for the camp sites have been reclaimed. The fire rings are old tractor rims and scrap steel. The tent platform is from reclaimed deck lumber. The firewood is excess cutoffs purchased from a local sawmill. For more information log onto our website. bassandbuckadventures.com

Jody is a great host and her land is beautiful. We wanted to escape the city and have a chance to see the northern lights. It was amazing to sit out in her field and watch shooting stars and the aurora!

Forge hill was perfect. It was easily accessible had a good fire ring and table. Rick provides firewood, which is very convenient. We caught many bass, bluegill, and catfish in the stocked lake. There are also kayaks, a canoe, and a paddle boat to get out on the water.

Beautiful property. Had so much fun fishing and hanging out on the dock. Very private. It was too chilly to swim but we would definitely go back during warmer weather. Michael was very responsive and helpful.

I would not have previously considered the Cleveland area to be a camping destination, but this site is worth the trip in and of itself. The property is so peaceful and beautiful, with massive old growth trees and a lovely creek. I’ve never heard such a chorus of insects, birds, and frogs anywhere I’ve camped before. Rick is a great host and kindly set us up with firewood when we told him we’d be getting in late, which we really appreciated. While this site was just a quick one night stop for us I hope to come back and have a chance to explore more of the property.

Great site, Clip Clip was a bit further then expected from area we could drop off supplies from. Amazing listening to river run next to the site. Firewood that was provided was seasoned nicely and available too get to the site easily with provided carts. Parking area was not very well marked on site, but plenty of room so it didn't seem to matter.

We absolutely loved this spot! Perfectly situated camp site on the river, peaceful, and private even though there were other campers at other sites - we didn’t hear or see them. Kids hiked the trails and had a blast, so much to do and see! The host was also awesome - very communicative and directions made it easy to find. Also having free firewood available was a great bonus. We all can’t wait to go back and spend a bit longer now that we have found this gem!

I absolutely loved this stay. The site was so well taken care of, firewood was fully stocked, and the river water was so insanely clean. Even though we weren’t miles and miles away from other people, we didn’t end up seeing anyone besides Rick for the entire stay, so it really felt like secluded camping. We will definitely be back!!

Weekend Trip to Bending Oak Permaculture Farm

The farm was interesting, peaceful, and beautiful. The signs that described the permaculture activities were unobtrusive and insightful. There is a perfectly placed covered seating area in front of the gorgeous pond that provides a great area to watch the wildlife. The tiny house we stayed in and the bathhouse were clean and just what we needed. Recommend this stay, esp if you favor natural living off the land.

Lovely setting on the farm, close to the highway. Our stay was peaceful and left us recharged to continue our trek across the country. The cabin was new and clean. The bathhouse was also very well maintained.

We camped at the Forge Hill site. Rick was an amazing host! Helpful, and very kind. Thank you Rick for all the awesome free firewood and wagons! We had 2 huge tents and a pop up canopy and had plenty of room. The fire ring was unique and had fish carved in it. We sat right on the river which was so peaceful and pretty. We loved sitting in our camp chairs in the water, watching the water over the rocks… and just to the right of the site, you can walk about 40ft there is a deeper area to get in and cool off. The trees and woods were beautiful and there were gigantic Birch trees! The porta-potty was clean and not too far from our site. The lake is super close… great for swimming, has a slide and zipline! Also canoe, kayaks, paddle boat, and a paddle board. Our 9yr old granddaughter had a ball! Fishing was great too! My husband caught a lot of fish, and he even caught a 5lb bass! It was special also, because our granddaughter caught her first fish, a nice Blue Gill! The trails are great for hiking and the property is kept very nice. Thanks Rick for the best weekend ever! We will be back! 🩷
